On one of the more memorable plays of an otherwise forgettable game Sunday, Stefon Diggs ran a comeback route near the left sideline with Lions defensive back Darius Slay matching him step-for-step.
Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins, after faking a handoff, bought time by rolling out to his left, eventually firing the ball toward Diggs – who corralled the ball and dragged both feet while staying inbounds by inches, all while Slay was close enough to hear him breathe.
It was a great throw and great coverage, but the catch was the best of all. All Slay could do was tip his cap – which he did later on Twitter, in an exchange that caught my attention.
